Now Reading : Fast Food Nation

I couldn't handle reading only Inifite Jest, the book's too indigestible, long and convoluted, and everything's new (it's set in the near future), so you're constantly dealing with new vocabulary that he doesn't explain other than through either convoluted, in-character footnotes or contextual references and inferences, so reading it is really quite hard work. I'm taking a temporary break and reading Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, which is a better reason than any dietary plan to never touch processed food again.
